The Victorian justice system in Australia on Friday found a Christian doctor who had been suspended for nearly six years over his Christian and conservative social media posts guilty of professional misconduct.
Dr. Jereth Kok, “who had no prior history of patient complaints or professional misconduct before his suspension — now faces a separate sanctions hearing in early 2026 that could result in the full cancellation of his medical license,” The Daily Declaration reported.
Some of the posts Dr. Kok published included two promoting The Babylon Bee, with one hilarious headline reading, “Instead Of Traditional Warfare, Chinese Military Will Now Be Trained To Shout Wrong Pronouns At American Troops,” and another titled, “Congressional Prayer Lasts Two Days As Democrat Includes All 5,787 Genders.” That title, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal reportedly ruled, “failed to respect gender diversity” and was “derogatory to LGBTQI+ persons.”
Kok was reportedly pilloried for quoting children’s rights advocate Katy Faust, the founder of Them Before Us; promoting the Ezekiel Declaration, a 2021 open letter signed by more than 3,000 church leaders that protested Australia’s proposed introduction of “vaccine passports,” and linking to an Australian Christian Lobby newsletter.
Kok stated in one post:
I said above that “homosexual orientation may be addressed with therapy.” I view this as being a choice to be made by the individual. Because I do not think that orientation is a sin in itself, I do not think someone who has homosexual orientation must be urged by other Christians to seek therapy. If they wish to live a celibate life, without entertaining lustful thoughts, and without accepting a gay identity, then I do not see a problem with this. I think that an individual can be God-pleasing in this situation. If, on the other hand, he/she wishes to overcome his or her homosexual orientation in order to marry someone of the opposite sex, he/she may choose to have therapy. I believe that therapy can be successful, but I would hesitate to say that it will always be successful.
